> Another technique I found was when you are sitting in your bed in a dark room with your eyes slightly open and focusing on a point in space. You will see everything fade to white and it's very easy to slip into the meditative state. I don't know what this is called as I discovered by accident during my teenage years.
This is Troxler's fading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troxler%27s_fading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troxler%27s_fading

As long as people are only being introduced to meditation in a user-friendly manner, I don't see the harm in productizing. Maybe some users will get interested enough to go look up original sources or carry on meditating without a product/crutch.
The only organisations that are doing some harm IMO are cults and/or those that profess to have a secret formula that they only disclose for money. Transcendental Meditation is one such organisation.
- progressiveweb 8y ago> Transcendental Meditation real popular in Vancouver amongst the white yuppie crowd. I was shocked that it cost several thousand dollars...for information and technique that can be self taught. Also why trash like lululemon is popular here. Vancouverites have no taste, no substance, just whatever will look cool on instagram.
